2019 Chevy Equinox: $199/Month Black Friday Lease

Cheap To Lease: All versions of the 2019 Equinox benefit from a $250 bonus for leasing ahead of Black Friday. Here in California, the price to lease an Equinox LT has fallen to $199 for 39 months with $3,649 due at signing. But that's not all.

If you're coming from a non-GM lease, you may be eligible for a $1,500 bonus that brings the amount at signing to just $2,149. At that point, the vehicle has an effective cost of just $254/month. That's $9 more than a Ford Focus SE ($245)!

Costco members may be able to save even more with GM Supplier Pricing. The catch is that you'll have to buy through the Costco Auto Program and a limited network of dealers rather than one you choose on your own.

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Up To $6,000 Off

Best Time To Buy: It's the end of the 2018 model year and Jeep is offering a $1,000 Black Friday Bonus on Grand Cherokees. Coupled with other incentives, you can now save as much as $5,500 in the case of a well-equipped Limited trim here in California when financing through Chrysler Capital.

You may be able to boost that to as much as $6,000 if you're eligible for a $500 discount if you're currently leasing a competitor. That marks one of the best deals we've seen all year for this model. Expect dealer discounts to be extremely aggressive this month.

2018 Cadillac XT5: Up To $9,000 Off

Record Discounts: Certain versions of the XT5 feature unbelievable savings. For example, the Premium Luxury trim is eligible for $2,000 that can be combined with a $2,000 bonus when coming from a competitor. If you buy through GM Financial, you may be eligible for $2,000 in down payment assistance. But that's not all.

Next, dealers are being given up to $3,000 in Flex Cash to help lower prices. Altogether, shoppers willing to negotiate may be able to save as much as $9,000 off MSRP. That's the largest amount we recall ever seeing on an XT5. In some cases, you may find prices to be within range of mainstream brands.
